Six Barrel Drafthouse Hockley, Nottingham

In this part of town ,I assumed this would be a keg only young persons bar but was surprised to see 5 handpumps operational serving on my trip TT Landlord,Little Critters Turtley Tropical,Spot On,Little Hopper and Twisted Barrel I Love Catch,a peanut stout (NBSS 4). It's a has an ale house vibe with wooden floors,basic furniture ,three rear fridges if you want exotic canned beer and a lively ,noisy atmosphere. Circuit drinkers will pop in but given an interesting ale range if does warrant a stop if crawling the city centre for real ale.Better than I feared from the outside.

Relatively recent alehouse right in the city centre, and unlike almost all the others, no door staff needed even on a really busy Euros football evening. Lots of wooden furniture and on the floors and walls, together with breweriana all over. With all six handpumps in use, there was a good selection from mostly local breweries (with Jaipur coming from furthest away), and my pint of implausibly named Schluss Munich Bitter from Hollow Stone (£4.60) was first class.
